I believe you are doing the right thing, its stressful for the other hens with her attacking all the time. Cull her out for the good of the flock.

Thanks for the tip :) I will enjoy them I am sure. I keep reading that the Buckeyes have different sounds. I thought it was funny some of the sounds my Silkies make. I will have a Chicken Symphony in my back yard LOL

Good morning, I do not have any experience with Buckeyes. I will be putting them in their own coop and run separate from my other chickens so they stay pure. If they do not go broody I am planning on letting my silkie hens set on their eggs if need be. Trying to have them be sustainable for...

I ordered early from Meyer Hatchery for Delivery the Second week of April. Have you ordered from them before?

I have ordered 16 Buckeye chicks to be delivered in April 2017. I am excited to raise some day old chicks. I bought my current hens as adults the 3 Orpingtons and my silkies were a month old when I bought them, the are now 6 months old. I feel the Orpingtons are older than the lady had posted...
